SHANGHAI, CHINA --( ASIA TODAY )-- After setting attendance records at R+T Asia 2018 and seeing record attendance at R+T in Stuttgart, R+T Asia 2019 is expected to shatter all previous records for the number of exhibitors and visitors. The exclusive annual trade fair for roller shutters, doors/gates, windows, and sun protection systems is set for February 27 to March 1, 2019, at Shanghai’s New International Expo Centre (SNIEC).

The 2018 show filled 50,000+ square meters of space in six exhibition halls and attracted 507+ exhibitors and 34,000+ professional visitors from 92 countries and regions, seeking abundant business opportunities in the huge Asian market.

Based on the show’s recent success and market growth in the Asia-Pacific region, organizers expect R+T Asia 2019 to set new records in quantity and quality. Several prominent companies have committed to exhibit at R+T Asia for the first time. Such companies include Vertilux, the world’s top manufacturer of fabrics and components for the window covering Industry, and Gaviota Simbac, a leading global company in accessory and system business for smart awnings and rolling shutters.

Many areas of the show are expected to see new growth, such as the Korea Pavilion, which has attracted notable exhibitors such as Dongwon Industry, Daekyeong, Nakyung, Winplus, XERA, and others. The number of international exhibitors has also been increasing at a rapid rate, revealing an increasingly positive view of business opportunities in the Asia market.

New co-located exhibition for HD+ Asia

With annual Chinese consumption in the soft decoration industry now reaching 200-300 billion (RMB), the potential for growth in the Chinese market and the Asia-Pacific Region is expected to be huge. Inspired by this growth, R+T Asia is creating more opportunities for attendees. In 2018, the Yuhang Pavilion debuted with the Yuhang Home Textile Industry Association, representing top curtain manufacturers in China. In 2019, the HD+ Home Textile & Decoration Asia show will be featured in a brand-new exhibition hall at E7.

The HD+ show, operating under the theme of “Combining Product With Design,” will introduce product application scenarios for the office, hospital, and homestay environments and others. HD+ will take advantage of R+T Asia’s demonstrated ability to attract foreign business and boost domestic business by bringing buyers and exhibitors together.

Popular educational summits and conferences

As always, R+T Asia 2019 will bring its premium educational opportunities to attendees. The Smart Home 2025 pavilion will again demonstrate the realistic life of the future home, and the Soft Decoration Summit and Cadex Conference will create a channel for insider communication. More highlights and emphasis will be placed on industrial door knowledge at the 2019 Warehouse Construction Equipment Conference. InnovAction Hub and the International Window & Door Summit (IWDS) will again showcase the latest advanced technology and global trends.
